Abstract:

With the misuse of deepfake speech technology in telecom fraud and online disinformation dissemination, the authenticity verification of high-fidelity synthetic speech presents severe challenges for forensic practice. This paper focused on deepfake-oriented forensic speech authentication as the research subject, and established an integrated technical framework consisting of originality verification, integrity verification, and deepfake detection.For originality verification, this study examined the methodologies and applicable scopes of consistency checking for recording devices and system environments, as well as logical verification of file attributes and metadata. For integrity verification, it systematically elaborated the technical approaches of auditory examination, spectrographic analysis, and other signal-based forensic examinations. For deepfake detection, it summarized detection algorithms, benchmark datasets, and evaluation metrics from the perspectives of global discrimination and local tampering localization. The results demonstrate that an integrated technical paradigm combining file metadata analysis, traditional acoustic forensic examination, and deep learning detection is conducive to ensuring the interpretability, verifiability, and judicial admissibility of forensic identification, thereby providing a theoretical foundation and technical support for speech authenticity verification in complex network environments.

Key words: audio authenticity verification, deepfake speech detection, deep learning, sonogram examination
